Was given Zosyn in my IV before I was scheduled to have my gall bladder taken out. I had an anaphylactic reaction and was in a coma for roughly 9 hours. I'm not allergic to penicillin, or other antibiotics.

I had a severe allergic reaction to this medicine. It was administered by IV and I immediately started itching. Turned red and developed welts and hives. They had to increase my IV in order to flush my system. I was admitted with an inflamed gallbladder and acute pancreatitis.

I developed a very bad case of pancreatitis as a result of a severe gallstone attack, and they immediately started me on Zosyn in the ER. They kept me on the antibiotic for a couple of days and the pancreatitis cleared up nicely, allowing them to do the gallbladder removal surgery.

I was given this medication after hernia surgery. I had some fluid around the mesh. Within 36 hours I had a rash all over my body which I was then diagnosed with Steven's Jojnson Syndrome (skin fell off entire body). Along with that my kidneys shut down. Just before they were to put me on dialisys my kidneys began to improve. 6 weeks later I am still in the hospital waiting for skins issue ... Show Full Comment

I am actually reviewing this for my elderly 92 year old aunt who was administered this after endoscopic common bile duct gallstone removal. Within couple of hours of Zosyn, she developed kidney failure, as well as thrombocytopenia, hypokalemia, and 4+ edema of her hands. She was even placed on hospice!

Within couple of hours of Zosyn, she developed kidney failure, as well as thrombocytopenia, hypokalemia, and 4+ edema of her hands. She was even placed on hospice! (Her close friend and neighbor had also had this happen to her with Zosyn; kidney failure, which thankfully is slowly improving.) Aunt Edie was placed in a Rehab facility much too quickly, but immediately worsened and was readmitted to hospital, for another 10 days. Total inpatient time was 3 weeks!
